I've spent a little over a year in Jacksonville, and I've become the most active writer/blogger in the area. I am able to write about Jax with a perspective that is both unique and fresh, while I always try to engage the reader. As I told one reader who commented about the writing style, my voice is always what I have going for me. I hope the good people of Jacksonville see me as a guy they'd like to hang out with in a bar rather than the guy they'd like to scam out of his money. And I'd like to see them the same way. Here's a list of ALL of my highlights, some with context for you. If you enjoy anything on McNewsy, you'll also like New Jax Witty.

OK, that's about half so far. I wanted to catch my breath. There's a lot of content on the website, but since it's a blog, I have a hard time getting it into categories that make the articles easy to find, so I'm hoping that posting to another website might help to some extent.
